Physical Therapy Goal Administration

Therapy goals used on the Therapy Goals template are configured on the PT Goal Administration practice template. Therapy goals are based on information documented for the reason for visit, History of Present Illness (HPI), and physical exam for the patient. Preconfigured therapy goals configurations are packaged with the system. You can add customized goals and modify or remove existing ones. Configuring goals requires knowledge of the template name and the field name that you wish to use for creating a goal.
